Global Disruptions: How Organisational Transformation Dexterity Offers Advantage

It seems the frequency, magnitude, and variety of global disruptions are increasing every month, heightening risk while exposing new opportunities for organisations. Simultaneously, there currently exists a void in Organisational Transformation Dexterity (OTD) where contemporary models and academic studies offer incomplete and often unactionable approaches. This confluence creates opportunities for those organisations that can generate effective and efficient OTD by recharacterising the boundaries, purpose, and methods of OTD.

In this article, we’ll outline what OTD really means, clarify common misconceptions, highlight gaps in where current thinking falls short, and share how forward-looking companies are already turning these gaps into an advantage. Understanding what is lacking in the current approaches and models of OTD will enable an innovative organisation to reduce negative impact from global disruptions and produce positive outcomes. The efficacy of OTD may determine the difference between survival and success.
